* James's BONDLIST for June '24 *

[Matt Sherman]

It's been said Charles Dance (FOR YOUR EYES ONLY) has the looks to have played Bond, M and also Ian Fleming! He was indeed Fleming, in a great biopic back in '89. Here's a most insightful read on Dance and Fleming, I loved it! http://www.007magazine.co.uk/don_boyd_interview.htm

SUIT UP! with Terrance Layhew. This podcast was prompted by my supremely difficult Bond trivia challenge. Terrance beat all comers for top honors! You know it will be a good chat . . . and besides juicy Bond stories I've not told elsewhere, Terrance and I give a sneak preview of the forthcoming COUNTERFEIT SPIES, a book we're both thrilled about: https://terrancelayhew.com/with-matt-sherman-and-bond-events

"JAMES BOND, with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death." So wrote Ian Fleming for the first line of GOLDFINGER, but more specifically, Bond was thinking of his mission in . . . Mexico City. https://bondfanevents.com/mission-double-o-siete-our-itinerary
